Wow, nice Col. Must be great to get the comet up above the effects of viewing near the horizon (only 13 deg here, but luckier than some ;) ).

minus degrees high here :sadeyes:

Hmmmm, maybe if I dig a big hole straight through :lol:

That is a great shot, Col!

It looks a bit like a Black&White image of a fried egg, sunny-side up. It certainly is a strange looking comet! :thumbsup:

Really great shot Col...........We've been clouded in for days here so it's good to see your images............Keep them coming :thumbsup:

That is a very nice pic, did you notice how large the coma is??, the outer coma (greenish) section is very faint but its twice the size of the brighter inner coma!
Very NIIIIICE!

:cheers:

Great work Col, lovely bright image.
It looks so much like a PN.
